Choosing Diesel Engines - Aftermarket Rebuilds VS New And Remanufactured Diesel Engines
Quality industrial diesel engines are hard to find these days. So many engine rebuilding outfits seem to be using cheap aftermarket or used parts and cutting corners wherever they can to save money, which winds up costing the consumer more money and time fixing or replacing. More often than not, purchasing quality engines from the start, both new and remanufactured, will wind up saving you significant amounts of time and money in the long run. Downtime is this industry's biggest fear and running quality equipment with quality parts is essential to minimizing downtime and keeping your operations running smoothly around the clock.
When deciding to purchase new or remanufactured industrial diesel engines, you want to find a company that has been in business for a significant amount of time with a good reputation. Check online for company reviews and even ask them for references. Make sure that they only use new genuine OEM parts. This is a high dollar purchase and you want to make sure you're getting the highest quality product for your money. New industrial diesel engines such as Caterpillar, Cummins and Detroit Diesel are renowned for their performance and reliability and the company you choose should strive to deliver that same performance and never use aftermarket or used parts. Their technicians should carry expertise in industrial diesel engine remanufacture and operate a complete diesel engine component machine shop where they have the ability to build their engines to customer specifications. They should also provide dyno test reports for all of their engines, to ensure that each and every engine is running as it should with no problems before it gets to you. Industrial engines are a substantial expense and you want to make absolutely sure that you get your money's worth. Don't be afraid to speak your mind and make sure that your engine is built right from the start.
Whether it's an engine for a bulldozer, excavator, generator or any other type of off highway industrial application, make sure you are putting your trust in a reputable, quality company that isn't simply telling you what they think you want to hear. Equipment downtime is extremely costly and time-consuming. Poorly-built engines will most likely wind up costing you more money than you will spend up front for a superior product. Your equipment is the heart and soul of your operation so make sure you're buying quality parts to keep it running in the field where it belongs.
